Making the world a better place can seem like a broad and idealistic goal, but not for students in North Central College’s Social Impact Entrepreneurship course.

North Central College is now a global leader in social innovation education.

As part of its mission to prepare students for action and leadership in a complex world, North Central College has opened the Center for Social Impact to develop the next generation of “changemakers.”

Five North Central students were selected as winners at the College’s second annual Changemaker Challenge, a pitch competition for students with innovative ventures or projects that respond to social, economic, environmental or justice issues.
